Day 2 - 3 Nxai Pan National Park, camping:
Rising with the sun, our route takes us 500 kilometres south to Nxai Pan National Park where sweet grasses host a variety of wildlife. We stop en route for a picnic lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive searching for desert fauna and flora characteristic of this area. Wild camping in exclusive campsites where your Bush Ways team will set up bush showers and toilets.
Next day we explore Nxai Pan and enjoy the plains which can be dotted with grazing herds of impala, zebra and springbok. In the afternoon we will visit the magnificent Baines Baobabs. These regal trees, immortalised by the explorer Baines’ painting, are situated on the edge of an expansive saltpan. (B,L,D))

Day 4 Maun, camping:
After enjoying a morning game drive, we leave Nxai Pan and continue our tour to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango Delta. Here we have time to visit the shops and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. We camp overnight in a site with permanent toilet and shower facilities. (B, L, D)

Day 5: Today we will travel to the western side of the Okavango Delta to arrive in a corner of paradise. We will camp on an island, possibly serenaded by the sound of hippos and bell frogs breaking the night silence. Campsite with permanent toilet and shower facilities. (B, L, D)

Days 6 - 7: We will transfer our equipment to motorboats and will cruise along the narrow papyrus-lined channels of the Delta searching for exotic bird life of the region and the elusive sitatunga antelope, while absorbing the stunning landscape of this area. Deeper in the Delta we will meet our mokoros (traditional dug-out canoes) and enjoy a tranquil ride, as our trusty polers pole us to an island – wild camping with limited water supplies, your Bush Ways team wild built bush toilets, showers not always possible. Our time will be spent exploring the islands on foot and by mokoro. (B, L, D)  

Day 8: Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated by the beauty of the Okavango, we will return to our vehicle and retrace our route to Maun. You have the option of taking a scenic game flight (US$ 130) over the Delta to return to Maun, which will create a more complete image of this unique water system. Campsite with permanent toilet and shower facilities just outside Maun. (B, L, D)  

Days 9 - 11:The big game aspect of our tour commences today as we enter Moremi, one of the best wilderness areas of Africa. The park covers swamp areas as well as dry land. The next three nights will be spent in this park searching for the wide variety of animals and birds the reserve offers, while absorbing the sounds and beauty of this region. Game drives as the sun rises, and in the late afternoon as the sun sets, will be the norm. Wild camping in exclusive sites, your Bush Ways team will build bush toilets and showers. (B, L, D)

Days 12 - 13: Chobe National Park, with its diverse and striking landscapes, is our next destination where our search for wildlife continues. We will traverse the drier region of Savuti where bull elephants dot the plains, and then head northwards to the Chobe River where our game drives will meander along the banks of the river with the call of the African fish eagle following us. Wild camping in exclusive sites, your Bush Ways team will build bush toilets and showers. (B, L, D)

Days 14 - 15: We cross the Zambezi River by ferry, then drive to Livingstone on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls where we overnight at a comfortable lodge on the banks of the Zambezi. There is time to visit the thunderous Victoria Falls and shop for curios. Dinner is at your own expense at the lodge.
